They were the dream -- mechanical beings able to transform their bodies in vehicles, machinery, and animals; a last line against the chaos bringer, Unicron! They are at war, heroic Autobot and Maximal pitted against evil Decepticon and Predacon, both on their homeworld, the metal planet called Cybertron, and here on our Earth. They are the galaxy's last hope, they are--

Supreme Primal still to be released?
Entertainment Earth has updated their entry for Supreme-sized Air Attack Optimus Primal. The release date has been changed from April to June. Lately, most have presumed this figure to be cancelled with RiD quickly approaching and a mega-sized Primal about to be released. The change of date does, however, offer a ray of hope that the figure will still see production.

Joey Fatone loves Transformers
A few months ago on an MTV special, Joey Fatone of 'Nsync was seen wearing a Decepticon shirt.
An artcle on MTV.com today about his acting career shows this photo. Hard to tell, but thats a Optimus Prime shirt. Since this was from the set of the movie "The Bros" he will most likely be wearing the shirt in the movie as well.
So now we have yet another famous fan, and another potential Spike Witwicky.
